Gezicht op het Huis ter Nieuburch in Rijswijk 1694 - 1697

This 17th-century etching by Jan van Call depicts the Huis ter Nieuburch in Rijswijk, a royal palace in the Netherlands. The view, which dates to between 1694-1697, shows the grand facade of the palace with its formal gardens in the foreground. Van Call, who was active in the late 17th century, specialized in architectural renderings, and this detailed depiction captures the grandeur and symmetry of the palace. The perspective is taken from a distance, emphasizing the palace's imposing presence and the ordered nature of its grounds. The etching, measuring just 132 mm by 163 mm, provides a glimpse into the architectural and horticultural aesthetics of the Dutch Golden Age.
